A collection of bears and other unloved toys has built up along the railing to the Porirua dump after workers saved them from being buried.

The number of discarded toys has fallen during winter with many blowing away, but with summer arriving the fence would soon be covered again, manager Corri Strapp said.

"We've had the whole fence (covered) so you can't see anything but dolls.
The boys just pick 'em up and place them there."

Some of the bears in better condition had found new homes, and some had even gone overseas after a group had cleaned them up and taken them to less privileged children.

Many children were also keen to take the toys home – but their parents were not so eager, Mr Strapp said.

There is a miniature railway near where we lived in the UK. Along the route would be hundreds of teddies, pandas ... all sorts of soft toys. The kids thought it was wonderful and there was no shortage of donations.

Someone needs to put their 'thinking cap' on over there in Porirua.

I rescued a wonderful stuffed dog from the side of the road. After pulling all the burrs out, and giving him a bath, he was quite nice looking. We also have a 'stray' stuffed bear and cat that my OH found.

You can't suppress these kiwis. They do like their 'theme' fences

Bras and knickers appear like magic
By BRUCE HOLLOWAY - Waikato Times | Saturday, 29 September 2007



Dodgy tales of underwear going missing off lines in the dead of night are old-hat.

Far more curious is the suburban phenomenon of random knickers and bras suddenly appearing on a line overnight - which has perplexed the residents of Ronald Ct, Pukete.

- Weird things started happening in the cul-de-sac about three weeks ago when Dave Lattimore planted a new front lawn and erected lines with plastic bags across it to keep the birds off.

A few nights later a pair of black female knickers appeared, pegged to the line.

Gradually, all sorts of unmentionables were added in the dead of night, until the street front at No 26 now looks like an ad from an Elle Macpherson catalogue. The range includes a black suspender belt, pink g-string, corset and 40C white bra.

"Every second day some more appear," Mr Lattimore said. "I figure if I leave it long enough I'll have some matching sets. Either that or do the Cinderella thing and go knocking on doors to ask if we can see what fits."

Neighbour Roy Wood is just as bemused.

"People must walk past and drop their knickers," he said. "They're like that around here."

But he didn't fancy a Cinderella survey.

"Some of this is more ugly sister stuff," he said, fingering a massive black bra. "It's been designed for an elephant."

The mystery underwear is intriguing the street's women as well. The Times listened in as several of Ronald Ct's female residents speculated on which of their neighbours was responsible for the pink g-string.

"Must be Trudy," they said.

Darn ... I thought that said 'disappear.'

ooo Pukete is just around the corner from us - I'll have to go and have a look at this latest underwear fence!

Not that I'm pervy or anything

Can we have some photos of Taffy modelling the items, please? I'm sure he'd look good in a size 40 bra.

Taffy would get his head in a 40c bra! I would get all three of my breasts in there
